With all the recent information, this month has felt overwhelming. I’ve been taking some time to process, and in the meantime, treat myself. Small things cheer me up.
Flowers. You want to put a smile on my face? Bring me a flower. Convenient stores have rose for $2.00 at the checkout next to the candy bars.
Olive Garden. The best salad ever, the best garlic bread ever, and yummy lasagna. What could I want more?
Cleaning. Organizing my drawers or deep cleaning a room allow me some silent time with my thoughts while making things tidy. It’s good for my soul. Granted, sometimes cleaning will actually put me in a bad mood.
Puppy cuddles. Luckily, Scooby is great at cuddling. Not for long, though.
Phone calls. Sometimes, a quick conversation with a good friend to vent or come up with a solution is extremely helpful and will leave in a better mood.
Sweet tea. I’ll blame my southern roots, for this one. I finally have a non-liquor alcoholic beverage to have with dinner, and it makes me happy.
Queso. I love tortillas with some cheese dip. A lot of the things on the list are food.
Journaling. I don’t remember to journal often, but when I scribble my thoughts down, no matter how illegible, I sometimes feel a sense of relief, and I have an easier time letting things go.
Makeup hauls. Whether it’s a quick trip to Ulta or a Sephora package at my door, splurging on some new makeup makes my heart happy.
The right music. I can’t ever pinpoint what music is going to put me in a good mood at the time, but when it happens, it’s awesome. And sometimes, it’s not even “happy” music.
Planning. Most of the time, if I’m feeling down or overwhelmed, giving myself a plan for the next day makes me feel better. I also tend to make a lot of lists.
What cheers you up on a bad day?
